The black shell shrimp is one kind of omnivorous shrimp, can eat the food to have many. In general, they can eat algae or plankton in the tank, and they can also be fed with cooked spinach. In addition, they can also feed some frozen red worms to increase nutrition. They can also eat artificial shrimp food. If not, you can occasionally use turtle food or fish food to feed, but it is not recommended to feed fish food and turtle food for a long time.
Black shell shrimp generally will not eat aquatic plants. Especially in the case of algae in the tank, they basically do not eat aquatic weeds. But if there is a lack of food in the jar, they may also eat the tender leaves of some aquatic plants to satisfy their hunger when they are hungry. In addition, if the aquatic plants are rotten, they will also gnaw away the rotten parts.
When the black-shell shrimps are cultured, they can be fed every 3-5 days. If you want them to grow better, you can increase the frequency of feeding appropriately, and occasionally feed some clean red worms to increase nutrition. If there are algae in the tank and they are only raised to help remove algae, they can not be fed. Because if you feed shrimp food and let them get used to it, they won't eat algae.
